36      This section provides some guidelines on how to install and configure BoostBook
37      and Quickbook under several operating systems. Before installing you'll need
38      a local copy of boost, and to install the version of <code class="computeroutput">bjam</code> which
39      comes with it (or a later version).

51<p>
52        The simplest way to install on OS X is to use macports. If you don't want
53        to use macports and are using Snow Leopard or later, there are instructions
54        <a class="link" href="install.html#quickbook.install.macosx.native" title="Mac OS X, Snow Leopard (or later)">later</a>. Earlier versions
55        of OS X need to use something like macports to install <code class="computeroutput">xsltproc</code>
56        because the version they come with is very old, and doesn't have good enough
57        XSL support for boostbook's stylesheets.

62        macports</a>
63</h4></div></div></div>
64<p>
65          First install the <code class="computeroutput">libxslt</code>, <code class="computeroutput">docbook-xsl</code> and <code class="computeroutput">docbook-xml-4.2</code>
66          packages:
67        </p>
68<pre class="programlisting">sudo port install libxslt docbook-xsl docbook-xml-4.2
69</pre>
70<p>
71          Next, we need to configure Boost Build to compile BoostBook files. Add
72          the following to your <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code> file, which should be
73          in your home directory. If you don't have one, create a file containing
74          this text. For more information on setting up <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code>,
75          see the <a href="http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html" target="_top">Boost
76          Build documentation</a>.
77        </p>
78<pre class="programlisting">using xsltproc
79    : /opt/local/bin/xsltproc

83    : /opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/
84    : /opt/local/share/xml/docbook/4.2
85    ;
86</pre>
87<p>
88          The above steps are enough to get a functional BoostBook setup. Quickbook
89          will be automatically built when needed. If you want to avoid these rebuilds:

113<p>
114          If you need to build documentation that uses Doxygen, you will need to
115          install it as well:
116        </p>
117<pre class="programlisting">sudo port install doxygen
118</pre>
119<p>
120          And then add to your <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code>:
121        </p>
122<pre class="programlisting">using doxygen ;
123</pre>
124<p>
125          Alternatively, you can install from the official doxygen <code class="computeroutput">dmg</code>.

139          The text below assumes you want to install all the necessary utilities
140          in a system-wide location, allowing any user in the machine to have access
141          to them. Therefore, all files will be put in the <code class="computeroutput">/usr/local</code>
142          hierarchy. If you do not want this, you can choose any other prefix such
143          as <code class="computeroutput">~/Applications</code> for a single-user installation.
144        </p>
145<p>
146          Snow Leopard comes with <code class="computeroutput">xsltproc</code> and all related libraries
147          preinstalled, so you do not need to take any extra steps to set them up.
148          It is probable that future versions will include them too, but these instructions
149          may not apply to older versions.

337        The following instructions apply to Debian and its derivatives. They are
338        based on a Ubuntu Edgy install but should work on other Debian based systems.
339        They assume you've already installed an appropriate version of <code class="computeroutput">bjam</code>
340        for your copy of boost.
341      </p>
342<p>
343        First install the <code class="computeroutput">xsltproc</code>, <code class="computeroutput">docbook-xsl</code> and <code class="computeroutput">docbook-xml</code>
344        packages. For example, using <code class="computeroutput">apt-get</code>:
345      </p>
346<pre class="programlisting">sudo apt-get install xsltproc docbook-xsl docbook-xml
347</pre>
348<p>
349        If you're planning on building boost's documentation, you'll also need to
350        install the <code class="computeroutput">doxygen</code> package as well.
351      </p>
352<p>
353        Next, we need to configure Boost Build to compile BoostBook files. Add the
354        following to your <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code> file, which should be in your
355        home directory. If you don't have one, create a file containing this text.
356        For more information on setting up <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code>, see the
357        <a href="http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html" target="_top">Boost
358        Build documentation</a>.
359      </p>
360<pre class="programlisting">using xsltproc ;
361
362using boostbook
363    : /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh
364    : /usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/dtd/4.2
365    ;
366
367# Remove this line if you're not using doxygen
368using doxygen ;
369</pre>
370<p>
371        The above steps are enough to get a functional BoostBook setup. Quickbook
372        will be automatically built when needed. If you want to avoid these rebuilds:

374<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
375<li class="listitem">
376            Go to Quickbook's source directory (<code class="computeroutput">BOOST_ROOT/tools/quickbook</code>).

382            Copy the resulting <code class="computeroutput">quickbook</code> binary (located at <code class="computeroutput">BOOST_ROOT/dist/bin</code>)

385<li class="listitem">
386<p class="simpara">
387            Add the following to your <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code> file, using the
